Columnist applauds straight kids' efforts
Lesbian columnist Deb Price writes this week about Amanda Blair and Stephanie Haaser, two heterosexual girls who decided to take a stand for their gay peers. Blair decided to take a female friend to the prom to protest homophobia in her Wyoming town. Police stopped them at the door, and although Blair missed her prom, she got the rules changed with a little help from the ACLU. Haaser decided to buss one of her friends on top of a cafeteria table to protest homophobia at her Maryland high school. It was part of a class assignment to commit a non-conformist act. She and her friend were suspended from school, but she says the change she sees in fellow students' attitudes made it worthwhile. Watch out when this generation is running the country, says Price.
